In one aspect the Pope is correct, the different religions, or so to speak, the different ways in which people approach the spiritual dimension, represents the effort of people to understand the orientation of our will towards God engraved in our heart. Now, if everything were equivalent, then the sacrifice of Christ would have no meaning, we could all save ourselves (that is, be able to return to His presence - orient our will completely towards Him -) by our own means, through the religion that seems best to us. even a personal one. It is true that Christ redeems everyone, however it is we who must voluntarily accept that redemption, but for that we must know Him and know the opportunity He offers us.
@@productamadeus8745 Because he doesn't believe this. This was a one time of the cuff remark. The same week the Pope said: "I am here to testify that the Gospel is the life source and the ever fresh force of personal and social renewal. It brings about harmony among all nations, among all peoples; harmony, and the ability to experience and suffer together. It is the Gospel of Jesus Christ alone that is capable of profoundly transforming the human soul, making it capable of doing good even in the most difficult situations, of extinguishing hatred and reconciling parties engaged in conflict. May everyone, every man and woman, in full freedom, know the Gospel of Jesus, who has reconciled God and humanity in his Person, and who, knowing what is in the human heart, can heal its wounds. The Gospel is always positive." Does this sound orthodox or what?

Upon this rock ( Peter)I will build my church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it. This church has been around for two thousand years and it is the Roman Catholic Church !
The papacy is a later development as power centralized to Rome over centuries. It was not a first century apostolic doctrine or ecclesiastical structure! The fractionation in Rome favored a collegial presbyterial system of governance and prevented for a long time, until the second half of the second century, the development of a monarchical episcopacy in the city. Victor (c. 189-99) was the first who, after faint-hearted attempts by Eleutherus (c. 175-89), Soter (c. 166-75), and Anicetus (c. 155-66), energetically stepped forward as monarchical bishop and (at times, only because he was incited from the outside) attempted to place the different groups in the city under his supervision or, where that was not possible, to draw a line by means of excommunication. Before the second half of the second century there was in Rome no monarchical episcopacy for the circles mutually bound in fellowship. Peter Lampe, From Paul to Valentinus: Christians at Rome in the First Two Centuries, trans. Michael Steinhauser (Minneapolis: Fortress Press, 2003) p. 397.
Being around a long time doesn't prove exclusive claims to truth and one true church...Buddhism and many other religions have been around longer than Christianity. (But I would argue Catholicism proper is not 2k years old as certain doctrinal distinctives are later developments such as Marian dogmas and papacy).

You think you know everything about Catholics and Catholicism Well you are wrong. "For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you" Matthew 7:2. The biblical theology you preach is pompous and self righteous and is lacking in respect and LOVE. "Anyone who lives in love, lives in God and God lives in him" 1John 4:16. The very essence of God is love and the Incarnation of God in Jesus, is God's greatest sign of love for all humanity. Love is the pathway to God. God wants everyone to be saved: “Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth” (1 Timothy 2:1-4). My final word to you Emilio Ramos is this: "If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 1 Corinthians 13:2. I am a lifelong Catholic and love Jesus. And I love you too. I pray that maybe one day you will return to the faith of your forefathers.
Peter warned about popes: "But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will also be false teachers among you, who will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing swift destruction upon themselves." 2 Peter 2:1
@@theodoremueller6866 wrong. According to the roman catholic church you must go through Mary: "St. Thomas Aquinas writes, "Mary is the whole hope of our salvation,” and "Through the intercession of Mary any souls are in Paradise who would not be there had she not interceded for them, for God has entrusted her with the keys and treasures of the heavenly kingdom.”
@@akkafietje137 I am sad that some protestants continue to judge and condemn the Catholic Church. The word catholic comes from the Greek meaning "through the whole," that is "universal," "world-wide," "all inclusive." Jesus prayed "I pray that they will all be one, just as you and I are one-as you are in me, Father, and I am in you. And may they be in us so that the world will believe you sent me." We have failed Jesus in being "one". Jesus said "I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My Church; and the gates of hell will not overpower it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven.” In both the Old and New Testaments, keys symbolize power and authority. The nature of that power and authority varies depending on the context. Isaiah 22:22 refers to “the key of the house of David,” which in the context refers to the authority of the steward who manages the household of the king. So by giving Peter keys of the kingdom of heaven. Peter (and his successors) is given the authority to manage the "household" of Jesus - The Church on earth. So please do not find reasons to condemn and divide the Catholic church but rather search for the things that will eventually unite all of us as Jesus wants.
I usually don't drop two comments on the same vid, but you are outragiously wrong on the catholic view of salvation. You went somewhat good on that Christians have to cooperate with God's salvific grace to be saved. (And I hold it to be obvious that one can reject God's grace, right? As the world rejected Jesus.) It is outright wrong to say that we catholics view God as a "helper"- God alone saves us. Sola gratia you may say. Now I better leave before I get palpitations.
1) he literally never said “there’s no difference” 2) you’re a little slow on this boat, Vatican II came to this conclusion, that you can be saved if you aren’t Christian. Which is true. This IS Catholic doctrine.
@@LightOfAllMankind oh boy. What is "true christianity" protestants disagree with each other over everything. It is division upon division and division is not from God
Could not make it through the whole video…. You cannot dismantle the Catholic religion (which it should be) and in the same breath go on to talk about Calvinism or “reformers” none of that is needed to tack onto the word of God it is good without all your extra religion. Calvinism is just as false. It’s not necessary. Neither of those two things are Christianity or following Christ Jesus.
This is a a mess . Your suggestion on what the Catholic Church can do is limited and will only lead to more problems. The mechanism to get a new pope is through the collage of cardinals. The current pope has had a huge influence there . Believe it or not the cardinals are even further to the left than Francis is. So a new pope would make Francis look old school or even biblical. .

Overall insightful. Question: since we know God walked with man (garden), God met with His people (ark of the covenant), God was with us (God incarnate), and God is now in us and we, His children, are in Christ, it all seems to be participatory in nature doesn't it? And even becoming moreso through the gift of the Holy Spirit, I think! (In the future maybe you could clarify your explanation as to how we are (or not) united to Christ through His atoning sacrifice. And a few key Scripture in correct context might help clarify what you mean). Also would add that your discussion on justification and One Mediator was clear and concise!

The office of a papacy (supreme bishop leader, chief shepherd of the entire church) is never mentioned as a church office in any of the offices of the church described in the New Testament. See I Corinthians 12:28-29; Ephesians 2:20-21, 3:11; I Timothy 3:1-13 and Titus 1:5-9 ..."Was there a Bishop of Rome in the First Century?"...the available evidence indicates that the church in Rome was led by a college of presbyters, rather than by a single bishop, for at least several decades of the second century (Sullivan F.A.

I agree with your analyses of the statements made by the pope. I do however have to disagree with several of your statements about Roman Catholicism. A lot (if not all) you say about Roman Catholicism is factual untrue. I do not want start a religious debate here, but I pains me to see how misguided you are about Roman Catholicism.
@@SidonianTree My comment was not about whether or not the Roman Catholic Church is right. My comment was about the fact Red Grace Media saying things that (as far as I know the Roman Catholic Church) are not right. What bothers me is that Red Grace Media claims what the Roman Catholic Church teaches, but doesn't provide the justification for why he knows or thinks this is what the Roman Catholic Church teaches. He provides biblical verses why, what he tells us the Roman Catholic Church teaches, is wrong. But where is the justification that the Roman Catholic Church actually teaches this? Let's imagine I made the claim that Reformed teaching tells us God delights in torturing people, and then come up with several bible verses to disprove that God delights in torture. This doesn't make my claim true. For instance: According to Red Grace Media the Roman Catholic Church teaches en believes that we someone fuse with God, but this is not what the Roman Catholic Church teaches. Humans do not become God. I can only think this is based on the belief that humans become one with God (John 17:20-23). This is not an oneness of being the same. This is similar to how husband and wife will become one flesh (Gen 2:24). This doesn't mean that they become one being. It also doesn't mean that humans someone have any say in what God does or doesn't do. The Roman Catholic Church doesn't teach the pantheistic version that is claimed in this video it teaches. I would like to know the source why Red Grace Media believes this is what the Catholic Chruch teaches Another point Red Grace Media makes is that the Roman Catholic Church teaches God is nothing more than a helper, and that somehow salvation is not up to God. That somehow it is our own doing (merely assisted by God). This again is false. The Roman Catholic Church teaches that God is our one and only salvation. We cannot be saved without Him. The Roman Catholic Church teaches that God is a helper, yes. He does so all through the bible. He saved the Jews from slavery in Egypt, guided them in battle, etc. He even sent His angels to protect us (ps 91: 11-12). He sent prophets to his people. So yes God throughout the Bible guides and helps humanity, but salvation is only through him. The Roman Catholic Church does teach that we have to accept His Grace in order to be saved (He will not save us against our own free will), but it is not our doing that brings forth salvation. It is God who saves. Just like the previous argument it seems that Red Grace Media believes that the Roman Catholic Church teaches that humans somehow are the equal of God and capable of their own salvation. This is absolutely not what the Catholic Church teaches (as evidenced by all the Catholic Saints who lived a life of humility). Again: My point is not whether or not the Roman Catholic Church is right. The point was that Red Grace Media was wrong about what the Roman Catholic Church teaches.
@@akkafietje137 Absolutely true. That is why the Roman Catholic Church teaches that Salvation is 100% God, and can only come from God. However, it is also an insult to God to believe: God has saved us (or will save us), so nothing we do matters in the eyes of God.
Did Pope Francis speak ex cathedra? Infallibly? Absolutely NOT. What is becoming very clear by these podcasts is a return to clericism.

Pope Francis is correct in his teaching, he did not word it with nuance. Ultimately, all religions do have good within them in one way or another, and those goods ARE of God. But the fullest understanding of who God is, is found in the Catholic Church. All other religions are ways of trying to understand God that are not complete, not in fullness. Is he going to say that to a bunch of children? Of course not. Pray for the Pope, and that we might all to become more compassionate, loving, and caring of others.

I always learned the Catholic church is the only church started by Christ. Not the Orthodox church, certainly not the protestants nor those that left the Roman Catholic Church way before Reformation came. Second : the pope is our Holy Father always right and replacing Christ on earth. Third: the Holy Virgin Mary got way more important during the years and took a place far above the pope, above the Trinity since she became Mother of God. So theology is changing. The pope is now straight belonging to the devil and if you pray, you do that to Mary. Why is it that the living Christ is not keeping the Roman Catholic Church intact, close to the gospel? Close to what the Bible teaches? Would Christ still belong to a Church where He is not honoured and obeyed above anything else?

Also, God will give you leaders you deserve, look at the mountain of sin that man is involved with, does it look like we are deserving of some great leader.

The papacy is a later development as power centralized to Rome over centuries. It was not a first century apostolic doctrine or ecclesiastical structure! The fractionation in Rome favored a collegial presbyterial system of governance and prevented for a long time, until the second half of the second century, the development of a monarchical episcopacy in the city. Victor (c. 189-99) was the first who, after faint-hearted attempts by Eleutherus (c. 175-89), Soter (c. 166-75), and Anicetus (c. 155-66), energetically stepped forward as monarchical bishop and (at times, only because he was incited from the outside) attempted to place the different groups in the city under his supervision or, where that was not possible, to draw a line by means of excommunication. Before the second half of the second century there was in Rome no monarchical episcopacy for the circles mutually bound in fellowship. Peter Lampe, From Paul to Valentinus: Christians at Rome in the First Two Centuries, trans. Michael Steinhauser (Minneapolis: Fortress Press, 2003) p. 397.
Being around a long time doesn't prove exclusive claims to truth and one true church...Buddhism and many other religions have been around longer than Christianity. (But I would argue Catholicism proper is not 2k years old as certain doctrinal distinctives are later developments such as Marian dogmas and papacy).
Funny title. I got back to Catholicism last summer after 14 years of evangelicalism :)
What convinced you?
Yes all religion is same but chirstianity is not a religion Christianity is the way to salvation and the mission of Christianity is to reveal the realliy of humanity because in the reality of humanity there is God identity jenesis 1- 26 and Jisus came to prof that only Jisus is God
You think you know everything about Catholics and Catholicism Well you are wrong. "For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you" Matthew 7:2. The biblical theology you preach is pompous and self righteous and is lacking in respect and LOVE. "Anyone who lives in love, lives in God and God lives in him" 1John 4:16. The very essence of God is love and the Incarnation of God in Jesus, is God's greatest sign of love for all humanity. Love is the pathway to God. God wants everyone to be saved: “Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth” (1 Timothy 2:1-4). My final word to you Emilio Ramos is this: "If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 1 Corinthians 13:2. I am a lifelong Catholic and love Jesus. And I love you too. I pray that maybe one day you will return to the faith of your forefathers.
Peter warned about popes:
"But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will also be false teachers among you, who will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing swift destruction upon themselves."
2 Peter 2:1
Why do you JUDGE this protestant ??
I am the way the truth and the life. No one to the father except throw me.
@@theodoremueller6866 wrong. According to the roman catholic church you must go through Mary:
"St. Thomas Aquinas writes, "Mary is the whole hope of our salvation,” and "Through the intercession of Mary any souls are in Paradise who would not be there had she not interceded for them, for God has entrusted her with the keys and treasures of the heavenly kingdom.”
@@akkafietje137 I am sad that some protestants continue to judge and condemn the Catholic Church.
The word catholic comes from the Greek meaning "through the whole," that is "universal," "world-wide," "all inclusive." Jesus prayed "I pray that they will all be one, just as you and I are one-as you are in me, Father, and I am in you. And may they be in us so that the world will believe you sent me." We have failed Jesus in being "one".
Jesus said "I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My Church; and the gates of hell will not overpower it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven.” In both the Old and New Testaments, keys symbolize power and authority. The nature of that power and authority varies depending on the context. Isaiah 22:22 refers to “the key of the house of David,” which in the context refers to the authority of the steward who manages the household of the king. So by giving Peter keys of the kingdom of heaven. Peter (and his successors) is given the authority to manage the "household" of Jesus - The Church on earth. So please do not find reasons to condemn and divide the Catholic church but rather search for the things that will eventually unite all of us as Jesus wants.
I usually don't drop two comments on the same vid, but you are outragiously wrong on the catholic view of salvation. You went somewhat good on that Christians have to cooperate with God's salvific grace to be saved. (And I hold it to be obvious that one can reject God's grace, right? As the world rejected Jesus.) It is outright wrong to say that we catholics view God as a "helper"- God alone saves us. Sola gratia you may say. Now I better leave before I get palpitations.
What denomination is this channel?
1) he literally never said “there’s no difference”
2) you’re a little slow on this boat, Vatican II came to this conclusion, that you can be saved if you aren’t Christian.
Which is true.

Could not make it through the whole video…. You cannot dismantle the Catholic religion (which it should be) and in the same breath go on to talk about Calvinism or “reformers” none of that is needed to tack onto the word of God it is good without all your extra religion. Calvinism is just as false. It’s not necessary. Neither of those two things are Christianity or following Christ Jesus.
By converting to Protestantism, their 's no need to become Calvinist.
Do you like it to follow again a "man", instead of Christ ?
@@akkafietje137 there is no need for any of these presuppositions or labels…
This is a a mess . Your suggestion on what the Catholic Church can do is limited and will only lead to more problems. The mechanism to get a new pope is through the collage of cardinals. The current pope has had a huge influence there . Believe it or not the cardinals are even further to the left than Francis is. So a new pope would make Francis look old school or even biblical. .
Thanks for the video.

Overall insightful. Question: since we know God walked with man (garden), God met with His people (ark of the covenant), God was with us (God incarnate), and God is now in us and we, His children, are in Christ, it all seems to be participatory in nature doesn't it? And even becoming moreso through the gift of the Holy Spirit, I think! (In the future maybe you could clarify your explanation as to how we are (or not) united to Christ through His atoning sacrifice. And a few key Scripture in correct context might help clarify what you mean). Also would add that your discussion on justification and One Mediator was clear and concise!

This guy does not understand the role of the pope, nor Catholicism. He also doesn’t understand ex Cathedra. The pope is fallible except when speaking ex Cathedra, which rarely happens. The last time this happened was 1950.

@@chrisaydt7320 “there is no evidence that before his death Peter actually served the church of Rome as its first bishop, even though the "fact" is regularly taken for granted by a wide spectrum of Catholics and others (McBrien, Richard P.

A "bishop" is a residential pastor who presides in a stable manner over the church in a city and its environs.

I agree with your analyses of the statements made by the pope. I do however have to disagree with several of your statements about Roman Catholicism. A lot (if not all) you say about Roman Catholicism is factual untrue. I do not want start a religious debate here, but I pains me to see how misguided you are about Roman Catholicism.
Any specific points?
Can you name just one and provide the biblical justification for your statement?
@@SidonianTree My comment was not about whether or not the Roman Catholic Church is right. My comment was about the fact Red Grace Media saying things that (as far as I know the Roman Catholic Church) are not right.
What bothers me is that Red Grace Media claims what the Roman Catholic Church teaches, but doesn't provide the justification for why he knows or thinks this is what the Roman Catholic Church teaches. He provides biblical verses why, what he tells us the Roman Catholic Church teaches, is wrong. But where is the justification that the Roman Catholic Church actually teaches this?
Let's imagine I made the claim that Reformed teaching tells us God delights in torturing people, and then come up with several bible verses to disprove that God delights in torture. This doesn't make my claim true.
For instance: According to Red Grace Media the Roman Catholic Church teaches en believes that we someone fuse with God, but this is not what the Roman Catholic Church teaches. Humans do not become God. I can only think this is based on the belief that humans become one with God (John 17:20-23). This is not an oneness of being the same. This is similar to how husband and wife will become one flesh (Gen 2:24). This doesn't mean that they become one being. It also doesn't mean that humans someone have any say in what God does or doesn't do. The Roman Catholic Church doesn't teach the pantheistic version that is claimed in this video it teaches.
I would like to know the source why Red Grace Media believes this is what the Catholic Chruch teaches
Another point Red Grace Media makes is that the Roman Catholic Church teaches God is nothing more than a helper, and that somehow salvation is not up to God. That somehow it is our own doing (merely assisted by God). This again is false. The Roman Catholic Church teaches that God is our one and only salvation. We cannot be saved without Him. The Roman Catholic Church teaches that God is a helper, yes. He does so all through the bible. He saved the Jews from slavery in Egypt, guided them in battle, etc. He even sent His angels to protect us (ps 91: 11-12). He sent prophets to his people. So yes God throughout the Bible guides and helps humanity, but salvation is only through him. The Roman Catholic Church does teach that we have to accept His Grace in order to be saved (He will not save us against our own free will), but it is not our doing that brings forth salvation. It is God who saves.
Just like the previous argument it seems that Red Grace Media believes that the Roman Catholic Church teaches that humans somehow are the equal of God and capable of their own salvation. This is absolutely not what the Catholic Church teaches (as evidenced by all the Catholic Saints who lived a life of humility).
Again: My point is not whether or not the Roman Catholic Church is right. The point was that Red Grace Media was wrong about what the Roman Catholic Church teaches.
It's an insult to the Almighty to believe : 80% of my salvation is payed by You on the cross, 20% I managed it by myself (good works)
@@akkafietje137 Absolutely true. That is why the Roman Catholic Church teaches that Salvation is 100% God, and can only come from God.
However, it is also an insult to God to believe: God has saved us (or will save us), so nothing we do matters in the eyes of God.
Did Pope Francis speak ex cathedra? Infallibly? Absolutely NOT.
What is becoming very clear by these podcasts is a return to clericism. While Jesus was primarily focused on the lost sheep of Isreal, learn what is learned by the parable of the Good Samaritan, the Samaritan Woman at the well, healing of the centurion’s servant and many other actions of our Lord.
Stop being Pharisees, applying the “law” - use every opportunity to welcome people, walk with them and teach them
through example.
+Pax Christi
According the Catholic church, is the Pope concerning the religion INFALLIBLE
Did Jesus learn, that Samaritan goes' to heaven ???
@@akkafietje137 The Church teaching apropos Infallability only applies when the Pope teaches ex-cathedra (from the Chair of Peter) on faith and morals. And such ex-cathedra teaching has been limited to only 3 occasions since the Dogma of Papal Infallibility was proclaimed in mid 1700’s.

What do you think of 'biblical Christianity' vs eastern orthadox?
Most Protestants don't have anything to say about Eastern Orthodox. A lot just don't know anything about it, but also there isn't bad history between the Protestants and EO, and the theological disagreements aren't nearly as severe.
can you break down the difference between biblical christianity vs the orthodox church???
That's more esoteric.
@@Procopius464 esoteric in terms of what???
@@aearthenvessell9541 Well, what do you mean by "Biblical Christianity" vs the Orthodox church? Because there is some in the Bible for different ideas on some matters, which is why we do have so many different denominations. OP is, most likely, Calvinist, which is different from Lutheran, Baptist, and Pentacostal theology. It's also different from Orthodox and RC. Also there's different types of Orthodoxy which are not in communion with one another. There is Eastern Orthodoxy, and there is Oriental Orthodoxy. There are differences between Protestants, differences between Orthodox, and differences between Protestants and Orthodox. So I would need to know what vs what exactly, before trying to shed light on it. I know a bit about Orthodoxy because I have friends that are, and I've been a member of 3 different Protestant denominations.
@@Procopius464 bro it's not hard to tell if your going straight of scripture and your lining it up with there catechism and I'm talking about wether they be protestant or protestant denominations Orthodox, Orthodox, Orthodox denominations, Catholic, etc If it's works based and they break God's law then I stay away from it. You guys make it harder than it should be
@@Procopius464 who's OP??
Pope Francis is correct in his teaching, he did not word it with nuance. Ultimately, all religions do have good within them in one way or another, and those goods ARE of God. But the fullest understanding of who God is, is found in the Catholic Church. All other religions are ways of trying to understand God that are not complete, not in fullness.
Is he going to say that to a bunch of children? Of course not. Pray for the Pope, and that we might all to become more compassionate, loving, and caring of others.

@@akkafietje137 #2 they believe abortion is wrong
I always learned the Catholic church is the only church started by Christ. Not the Orthodox church, certainly not the protestants nor those that left the Roman Catholic Church way before Reformation came. Second : the pope is our Holy Father always right and replacing Christ on earth. Third: the Holy Virgin Mary got way more important during the years and took a place far above the pope, above the Trinity since she became Mother of God.
So theology is changing. The pope is now straight belonging to the devil and if you pray, you do that to Mary. Why is it that the living Christ is not keeping the Roman Catholic Church intact, close to the gospel? Close to what the Bible teaches? Would Christ still belong to a Church where He is not honoured and obeyed above anything else?
The pope is your holy father? You are to pray to Mary?

@@akkafietje137 But that's exactly where I'm worried about. Every week the Roman Catholic dogma changes..
Dear Sir, if you have ever studied the Catechism of the Catholic Church, would you please stop lying to your audience? And if you have not read the Catechism, perhaps it would be a good idea to do so, so that you no longer spread so much nonsense and incorrect views about Catholic theology
What we do now? We're going to follow Christ. I'm sorry to say, but you're a) late on this and b) are misinformed about the believers duties to the Pope.
The Pope very clearly affirmed that only Christ is the truth, way and life the very same week in Belgium. Why didn't you include this in your 'research on the Popes notions of other religions'. This one time remark means nothing, and it's not a teaching that we are bound to. Would hope for a more charitable/well prepared view on catholics.

‘Then Paul stood up at the Areopagus and said: “You Athenians (greek pagans), I see that in every respect you are very religious. For as I walked around looking carefully at your shrines, I even discovered an altar inscribed, ‘To an Unknown God.’ What therefore you unknowingly worship, I proclaim to you”. Acts 17:22-23
You are certainly welcome to believe and profess whatever you want to believe, there are plenty of differing beliefs in the world today. But to glean this from the historically decidedly Catholic Trinitarian book is just plain silly…
History shows us that Jesus didn't leave us a bible, - the apostles didn't tell us which books belong in the bible, - the church fathers never agreed on the 27 books of the NT through the 4th century and ONLY the 27 books, - not only did they not agree but their individual lists of would-be NT canons were GROWING during this time.
Therefore, if it wasn't the Catholic/Orthodox church, guided by the Holy Spirit, that compiled the 27 books of the NT in the 4th century, with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and preserved these scriptures by laboriously hand copying them over and over throughout the centuries before the invention of the printing press, the “rule of faith” for many, please tell us who did?

@@akkafietje137 He doesn't know what the infallibility of the Pope is. The Pope needs to make it clear that he is speaking from the chair of St. Peter.
The Catholic Church does not depend on the morality of the Pope to continue on, and he can't change dogmatic teachings, and he can't change certain things, like trying to say that the Eucharist is not the body, blood, soul, and divinity of Jesus Christ.
The Pope can certainly hurt the Church, as he is doing now, but the church has stood for 2,000 years. It's not going to be going down so simply as having a bad Pope, which we have probably had worse in the past.

@@Procopius464 There have been bad Popes in the past, you don't have to listen to them when they are clearly in error, or leading you into sin. Also where in the Bible is some New Testament promise of this new covenant that says every ruler, or preacher you get is going to be perfect, that doesn't exist, and the Old Testament has plenty of examples of poor leaders. Jesus came to forgive sin, not to change the nature of mankind, so you are absolutely going to see all kinds of corruption as it has been throughout time. Also, God will give you leaders you deserve, look at the mountain of sin that man is involved with, does it look like we are deserving of some great leader.
